- 2 of 3 ain’t bad … there’s no doubt that the San Miguel Beermen have dominated recent years in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). This season, they were again that close to winning a grand slam only to be slowed down by internal turmoil causing the suspension of key players in their rotation.
Just to give the younger audience a glimpse of this rivalry, these two teams started slugging it out in classic match ups in the 80’s with the Knights’ Samboy Lim’s early dominance up to the decade ending back to back wins by the the Bong Alvarez and Eugene Quilban led Stags squads.
